- I've just ordered a Maxtor 85Mb 2.5" IDE drive for my A1200, unfortunately
- the supplier was unable to supply a cable to go with it: so does anyone know
- if there is anything special I need, or is if just a straight IDE cable?
-
- The manual says that the A1200 IDE controller interface is a 40 pin AT-BUS,
- but I took the cover off the A1200 and counted 44 pins (22 pins in line), so
- is this 40 pins plus Power or what?
-
- Any suggestions appreciated, mail me direct, and when I get it sorted I'll
- forward the final result for anyone else with the same situation...
-
- Cheers!
